Cut all the posts in a mitre-box except the four marked "X" in Fig. 5. These are cut 3§" longer so their tops will be equal to the top faces of the cross timbers which will go in over the driveway. These "X" posts are merely to support the sheathing, and are not a basic part of the supporting framework. Cement all the posts in place on the would otherwise be necessary ( see Fig. 4). Also, carefully note on the plan how those cross-bearers on the piers at either end of the shed are positioned. At the south end, the outer face of the cross- bearer is flush with the outside face of the corner post of the office. The cross timber at the opposite end should be notched out 352" on its wall extremity to receive the clapboard siding which is flush with the sheathing of the shed on this end of building. •-,036.:, Once the crosspieces are in place, put - on the remaining walkway supports at the piers on this side of the track.

Use a relatively fastsetting cement to speed up the job. Begin the framing by laying base blocks for the three outside walls of the office and shop. You have already drawn the lines locating these walls on the baseboard. But these base blocks, or sills, should be set back by the thickness of the clapboard siding, which is 46". On the north and south walls, the siding will seat on the baseboard between the paving and the Als. Go on now to the wall along the driveway under the shed.
